People ore talkiu now of rail roads superceding canals, the good old canals, half of which are already three-qaarters full of duck weed and dead cats. What did tlie Wellington ministry mean by opening beer shops? Why could not they i«;t die good old gin shops alone, and stick to the regular legiji' mate public houses? Our ancestors could gel as drunk as heart could wish at the genuine licensed old fashioned put hout-e. Look at the population too? People go on increasing and multiplying as i\ they never intended to leave off. Hun dreds and hundreds of people ore com ing into the world who have no right to be bom. - The world is as full as it can hold already j there is positively no room for any more. There was nothing l>ke the number of children to be eeen about the streets, when 1 was a boy, as there is now. 1 have sometimes ball' a mind to ask those lubberly boys that I sec a- bout the streets, what right tliey had to be burn; b u t perhaps they would make me some Impertinent answer, lor they swagger abqld « t if they thought that they nad as gocNl.a right to be born as a any one else; I wish they would read Moitlius’a Eiaay on Population; they would then be convinced that tliev have no right to be born, and they would be ashamed of themselves for existing lo the manifest inconvenience of gentlemen & ladies to whom they are exceedingly an noying; Look at the Reform Bill, that sink of innovation, to speak metaphorically; that climax of novelty, that abominable poke in tlie riba .of our Constitution, that destroyer «jP all that is venerable^— its opponents have been accused of talking nunsonse against it. Very like ly tliey have Isitlked nonsense, for they Have been so fiabbergutted at the innova tion, that they have not known what they have been, saying. Tlie Constitu- lioD is gone—^uitc—gone! Lord John Russel has purged it to death. If things go on changing at Ihio rate for the next hundred years as they have dona of late, w e shall scarcely have a relic of the good old times left. The weather is not what it hied jo be when I was a buy. Ohi those were glorious old limes when we had .sunshine all through the suenmer, and hard frosts all through the winter, when for one half of the year we could bathe every day, 8f tor the other half could skate every day . There is nothing of that sort now—If a.kmii buys a jjmr of sk&ites in the win ter, it is sure to thaw next day; and if a b<i> buys a pair of corks one day, there is sure to be a R5hi host next morning. There is nothing but Wet weather all through the winter, and no dry weather all through tlie summer. Formerly we Used to have an eclipse or two in the course oT the year, aim we Used to look at it through sinoked glass, and very good fun it was, only it used to make our noses black, if we did not take care to hold the glass properly. If we look mto ttte elmaaac for an eelijiso,- wo »r* sufe to sce lliat il is invisible- in these parts; and even if it is visible we can never see it,for there is always cloudy weather- 1 scarcely know- any thing; k that is now as it UsetUo be when I WM| . a* jsoy—Day and night have not quite changed places, but night and tnornfrtg have. Whatused to be Sunday morn ing tvlien I was a little boy, has now by a strange mutation become Saturday night. I Wonder why people cannot dine at dinner time as they used to do; but every thins is in disordci; a wild spirit of innovation has siezed men’s thintlte, and they will do nothing as they lisedjtodo, &as they Ought to do. Things -went, on well enough when 1 w as a boy tve had not half the miseries and calam ities that one sees and hears of nhw.— What an absurd and ridiculous inren* tipgis that nasty, filthy, stinking gass!— The buildings where it is made look like, prisons withouttgide, and like-infernal re gions within; and there always is some accident or other happening with ’ it; people have lbeir houses blown up, and it serves them right, for they halve no business to encourage suegnew fangle^ anips which were quite g ^ ^ g u jig tt or our ancestors, and I think ikey^ai^it have done for us, but any thiBA J'ojr In novation! 1 must confess I liked fq see (lie-good old greasy lamp lighters and their nice flaming torches; they were fif ty times better than the modern gas-light men with their littleitand lamps like so many Guy Fawkes. - And what harm have the p<gr old watchmen done I Wonder that they must be dismissed to make room for a set of new police men and blue coals? The regular,old legitimate watchmen were the proper and qonffltutional defenders of tne streets, just as, regularly as. the King is the defender of the fpifii, and a more harmlessset of men tbso tl^. \v..c'. never exisiefl; (lev Wouidy t m b a fiy Things went on well ehough When they had the care oi tlie streets. But innovations are not confifeu^to land; tliey have even encroached upon the water. Weie not London. Black- friars. and Westminster bridges enough iii all coriqcience? What occasion Was there for Waterloo bridge, a gieat ovei- grown granite monster that cost ten times moie than its worth? And uhat occasism for Southwark bridge and YauxhaU bridge. Our ancestor* copld go to Vauxliall over Wealminster' or| Blackfriars bridge. But of all the a bominablc innovation* none ever equal led the impudence of New Ld»dui- bridge. It was,not at all wanted. I have been over the old one hundreds and hundreds of times. - It i* a good old bridge that has stood the l o t of ages, and it ought to have been treated .with tespecl for veiy antiquity’s sake. A h for people being drowned in going un der the bridge, nonsense! They would never have been drowned if they had done os 1 did—I always made a point of never going under it; and besides, if people ute to be drowned, they will be drowned elsewhere if they axe not here. Talk of inno vat ions—-w bat can be a more outrageous innovation than steam boats? They have frightened the fish out of the river already, and if they go oil increasing a* they have done of late, they will frighten the fish out of (be sea too; and 1 should ’ like to ,know where all the fishes are to go then. We shall be in a pretty ntes9 if they ali come ashore. Besides, the 6e& is obviously mads to sail upon, or what else is 'the use of the wind And if we have noth ing but steamboats, what will bccome of the sail makers? People in these revo lulionary tiroes care nothing about vest ed interests i liata innovation. 1 hate every thing that is new. 1 hate new shoes, they pinch my feel; I hate new hats,they pinch my forehead;! hate new coateu, they put me in mind of tailor's bills. I hate every thing new, c-xccpt the New Monthly Magazine-, and 1 shall hate that if the Ldiior rejects my article.

Edward lryingbe- ^‘Bedlam From the London Morning Herald. MR. IRVING SPECIMEN OF THE UNKNOWN TONGUES. Mr* Irving’s Church, in Regent square, was attended on Monday morn ing by great numbers of persons wbo flocked thither from all parts of the Me tropolis. for the purpose of hering those “manifestations of the Spirit,\ which formed tha chief topic of the Hev. gen tleman’s discourse on Sunday. The in terest excited by these “manifestations\ may be judged of by the fact, that al- tjiough the service commenced as early as half past six and the morning was was filled wiilf respectable peripfc'bl both, sexes Oven before the appointed hour. Whilst Mr. Irving was engaged On reading a chapter from the Acts of Apostles, the voice of man was sudden ly heard, who harangued the congrega tion in the unknown tongue, and conclu ded by'interpreting the words he had ut tered. Shortly afterwards a woman raised her voice, suid gave another, spe cimen of the “operation of the Spirit,” which was also followed by an Interpre tation. The next part of the service was a very-4ong prayer from a gentle* man; who. besecched the Almighty to res train the scoffers, whom he warned that whilst they imagined? themselves mocking human creatures', they might; in fact, be mocking the Holy Spirit!— At the conclusion of the prayer^, a lady whom we understand to be a Mist Cars- den, or Carsdeil commenc|jd an address, or oration, and we were enabled;to catch a few of the words:—‘‘0 nenitntion a honos kola O do nomas kdhtlipn Qtnaito lerdeot kalion.” After ashort jpiuse we were favored with the interpretation, beware, ye mocker*! beware sing the work cf ‘.he Inve mercy upon jcv t! & service this nforring, Mr. -r**ing r.d- dressed a lew words to . Ilia l.earerg on the subject of keeping order in the church. He observed “ jot roountingon tlie benches was 'wholly inconsistent wiih the decorum oftvchf tian congre gation, and could not be p* roitted. He entreated tficm to keep their se**t» and listen. It was evident, hov/cvOr, that all the confusion arose from tlie anxiety of the individuals pr'Mcr.? to see os well as lo hear, a« tha fcinc’.e errors, instead of standing up, cont’nucd to Bit in thteir peivs while di3coursirg,lln the totigues.” As ih? wards with which the orators commenced their harangue?, >ve con by. no means guaranise the accuracy of the specimens wc hiva given, and we dare say tve have made sad work of the ortligraphy. These Unknown tongues are,fearful jflatters for a reporter.

The read ing was then resumed; and ’theAVtOSfe- cr again screamed; btit to Ua^ths word* were unintelligible, though \meant for English, and tlie Rev. Edward Irving’s interpretation’ equally dark, partly in; consequence of the broadness of his as cent.
